So I'm 8w5d with my 1st. Told my mom about it 2 weeks ago, and granted I knew she was upset, she still hasn't spoken to me. Everybody else is happy for me but the one person I want/ need is acting selfish. Idk whether I should try calling her or just give her more time to process...

It was the same way when my grandmother was alive and found out that her daughter of 30yrs old was having her first, it takes a while to process I guess, but she called everyone she was friends with within the next couple of days and told them 😂❤️

Both of my parents have passed but when I told my grandmother, who I was extremely close to, she took it horribly. She told me how she doesn’t support this, wants nothing to do with it, that I have “another option” (ugh!!!), and that I am a huge disappointment. That was January 29th. We have not spoken since. I love her dearly but I am not going to try to repair the relationship. I feel it is on her for feeling the way she does. I completely know how you feel when it comes to not getting support from the one person you need it from most! Since it is your mother, I would try to talk to her but I wouldn’t beg. Like PP said, she will come around. I would make an effort but if she isn’t having it, just give her some more time to process whatever emotions she’s having. Best of luck and congratulations!

hi there. i am 37w6d with my first also. im sorry you have to go through this, its important to surround yourself with people you care about you and will support you no matter what. i am so lucky to have a supportive family, i couldnt imagine how you are feeling right now. for now i would say to just leave it be and wait till she comes around, you are pregnant, you need to take care of yourself, you shouldnt have to worry about your mom. i promise you if she doesnt come around soon, she will when she sees her beautiful granddaughter or grandson. as for now just stay strong! i know how hard it can be, im 17 and pregnant, so many people have shut me out since getting pregnant. anyway, good luck xo
